Upgrading from 2.4.17 to 2.5.3 resulted in one very strange problem.
Some of the users have a large number of nested mail folders.  After the
upgrade, exactly one user found that some of his folders (say 3 out of
30) are now inaccessible.  In Thunderbird they show up, but are greyed
out.  If you try to subscribe to the folder, the subscribe checkbox is
missing.  In roundcube they aren't visible at all.

Hi Patrick,

have you checked the contents of the subscription file for that user and
if all the entries in the subscription file are really valid mailfolders?

This is pretty clearly a permissions problem of some kind.  The question
is how could this happen and what's the least painless way of going
about resetting the permissions so that he has access to these folders
again?

We're not doing anything fancy; for example, there are no shared
folders; independent email addresses are configured for shared mail
content and configured in the MUA.  The problem folders are in an
unshared account.

Also, the manifestation of the permissions problem isn't consistent
across the affected folders.  As reported by the user:

Archives Staff:  grayed out, cannot see email
Archives Staff Retreat:  not grayed out, cannot see email, when you
click on it, it says the action cannot be completed because the account
does not exist
General Convention Office:  not grayed out, can see email, when you
click on it, it says the action cannot be completed because the account
does not exist.

Thanks.
